Help! Is this a mite\tick bite?

[coconut2017]

Hello all!

I am often a bit quick to go to the vet and before I do so, I thought I could come here first and ask other dog owners what they thought on this.

I just finished brushing my puppy and I found a bump\ pimple on her thigh, near her belly. I am unsure what it is and I looked for picture online, but I am still unsure what this could be.

We kinda went a bit overbudget to get her and all she needs. We also just came back from the vet a few days ago for her second visit (general health exam, shot and Advantage). So before, I run to the vet again, what are your thoughts on this?

Oh yeah, the puppy seems healthy and all. The only thing I noticed is that she scratches a bit. The pimple\bump is not lifting up when I touch it... Can a bug go totally under skin?

What is this?

I would get it checked out at the vets to be safe.

I agree.............get it checked. Since bites can pass infections that only respond to treatment if it's started within a certain time frame, I would not delay. The cost of delay could far exceed the cost of going unnecessarily. Let us know what it is, please!!

I definitely agree, a vet visit is a must. I do hope you have taken her.

She has an appointement to the vet at the end of the week. They told me to check and make sure it doesn't grow, or else I need to go somewhere else where the vet can see her sooner.
